Surely even you understand that expanding the pool to all Americans was one of the primary purposes of the bill, dare I say even the key point. Why would they opt to gut the bill right after passing it?

I was being figurative. Either way, I've already stated that my Congressman Ann Kirkpatrick won't even be a choice for me now.

Oh I see. You are young and healthy and ignorant. Well, at least you will grow out of it someday.

No, you won't die. Because society will pick up the tab for you when you end up needed treatment for something. Interestingly enough, in a perfect world..the one you want to live in..you could die.

Well first off tell me what YOU consider a right winger and I can tell you yes or no. I RARELY agree 100% with any ideology or political group.

Don't be so sure. One car accident or major illness can kill you and/or force you into bankruptcy. A few years ago, I was totally healthy but caught pneumonia and came close to dying from it. Total bill for two weeks in the hospital: About $110,000. If I didn't have insurance, I would have been in serious financial trouble.

Going without health insurance seems like a very foolish thing to do.

And I don't want my tax dollars to go towards subsidizing corporations or towards funding wars. But I was never given a choice. Where were you until now?

Why not just give people the CHOICE in getting insurance. You are not going to force me to get something I do not want.

Libs want to complain we are forcing our christian ideas on america yet hear they are doing the same thing to the entire country!

I just did a google search and could find nothing of the kind. Maybe The Onion now broadcasts on radio/TV?
